Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Philadelphia (Downtown) Sheraton City Center

[christianne]

Using the PRICELINE link on Better Bidding, I tried to get a 3.5* property for one night in July. I was hoping for the Marriott on Market Street, but ended up with the Sheraton which is on 17th and Race. The rules of this board prohibit "whining," so I'll simply say that I hope this property's improved since the last time I visited (and remind myself that the rate I'm paying should compensate for its shortcomings!).

Congratulations on your success!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding :)

Enjoy your stay.

I should follow up on this long-ago post by noting that my stay here was great--I am a member of the Starwood rewards program which entitles you to a room upgrade, if it's available, and I ended up on a high floor with a nicely appointed room. The only downside was that the club lounge was closed on the weekends, so I didn't get to enjoy that, but for the price I was very happy! I'd highly recommend getting an SPG card to anyone who might end up at a Starwood property (which is pretty likely, using PL and HW)--even if some people refuse to honor it because the booking was made through a third-party agency, it's still possible that you'll end up with a nice receptionist who will.
